Paper Wings

Rise Against

   G D       C
1. One last thing I beg you please just before you go
   G D      C
   I've watched you fly on paper wings halfway round the world
   C   G   D   C
   Until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down
   G   D C
   landed somewhere far from here with no one else around
   
   D
   to catch you falling down
   D C
   and I'm looking at you now

   G     Em D
R: And I can't tell if you're laughing
   G           Em    C
   between each smile there's a tear in your eye
   C               G        Em D
   there's a train leaving town in an hour
   D G  Em  C
   it's not waiting for you, and neither am I

2. "Swing for the fences son" he must have told you once
   that was a conversation you took nothing from
   so raise your glass now and celebrate exactly what you've done
   just put off another day of knowing where you're from

R: And I can't tell...

   C G           D
   Is this the life that you lead?
   D          Em      C
   or the life that's lead for you?
   G D           Em C
   will you take the road that's been laid out before you
   G D   C                        Em  C
   will we cross pathes somewhere else tonight? somewhere else...

R: And I can't tell...
